Life’s a Bitch

Chiennes de Vies

Belgium, France 2023 Fiction p&b 88 min.

Tom tries to please Cécile, by agreeing to take in his late neighbor’s Chihuahua. The only problem is that this seemingly harmless creature seems to have driven its master to suicide, and now wants to kill him. Greta is a famous actress whose dog and assistant were crushed to death by a truck. At a laundromat, she meets Charlotte, who offers to replace her assistant... unless it’s to replace her dog. Franck and Lola experience love at first sight. Franck has never had so many things in common with anyone... except one: Lola doesn’t like dogs. Franck will have to choose between Lola, his new love, and Perdita, his best friend and best dog. Three stories about the loving relationships between humans and their dogs.
